Hello Can anyone tell me if there could possibly be 2 listings for the marriage of the same people? I have a date of 24 Nov. 1807 in Yester , East Lothian, and Dec. 5, 1807 in Edinburgh Parish. The names are the same , George Moodie and Jane/Jean Gray. Could it be that they were married first where he lived and then went to her home and were married a second time in Midlothian? Has anyone ever heard of this happening? I was wondering if it would be because of a religious difference. edie

People often registered their marriage in both the bride and groom's parish. Births were as well.

This usually denotes that the marriage has been registered in the grooms parish and brides parish and is a common occurance pre 1855. Regards. John. John D.
